Indian Grandmaster S P Sethuraman is continuing with his dream run in the World Chess Cup tournament in Georgia. At Tbilisi today, he played out a fighting draw with higher ranked Anish Giri of Holland in the first game of the third round of the competition. After victories over Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine and compatriot P Harikrishna in the first two rounds, Sethuraman did not face any trouble against Giri, a top-10 player for several years. Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi missed a great opportunity against Ding Liren of China and had to settle for a draw. At one point in the middle game, a beautiful tactic could have turned the tide decisively in favour of the Indian. Both Gujrathi and Sethuraman will play white in the return game now.Meanwhile, world champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Bu Xiangzhi of China and now faces the elimination as he is in a must win situation with black pieces.
